Abstract: The von Neumann entropy is key quantity in quantum information and in the investigation of many-body models. In this talk, we will show that tools from algebraic combinatorics and from the study of time and band limiting problems can simplify its computations for systems of free fermions on graphs.
Contrary to charged lepton degeneracies which are tightly constrained by the measured baryon-to-photon ratio, the allowed values of the primordial neutrino asymmetries cover a large range. In order to study the evolution of these asymmetries in the early Universe, one needs to solve a set of quantum kinetic equations that include vacuum mixing effects, mean-field […]

Classical integrable sigma-models form an important class of two-dimensional integrable field theories. It is a long standing belief that such models define renormalisable Quantum Field Theories. In this talk, I will review some recent developments related to this question. For instance, I will discuss some checks of this conjecture in several examples, including theories coupling […]
Flavourful Feebly-Interacting Particles (FIPs) in the MeV to GeV range have a strong impact on precision frontier observables ranging from rare meson decays to the lepton anomalous magnetic moments. Based on an effective field theory approach “SM+X” along with the HEPfit package to study the effect of FIPs on B to K observables. We present […]
By considering the photon-graviton scattering amplitude at low-energy including loops from the Standard Model, I will argue how we can infer constraints on the UV behaviour of the gravitational scattering amplitude. I will also comment on implications to other gauge fields in four and higher dimensions and application to the Weak Gravity Conjecture and connections […]
In this talk, I will give a description of semi-classical gravity in terms of quantum chaos and statistical physics. I will present the OPE Randomness Hypothesis (ORH), a generalization of ETH to CFTs which treats any OPE coefficient involving a heavy operator as a pseudo-random variable with an approximate Gaussian distribution. I will then present […]

In this talk, I will discuss various possibilities of producing dark matter in the early universe. By describing the transition between an inflationary epoch to a late time cosmology, I will […]
High-resolution spectroscopy of the simplest atoms and molecules plays an important role in the determination of fundamental physical constants such as the Rydberg constant or the proton charge radius, and […]
